Quick post today. Ben and I recently acquired an ice cream machine. Both a horrible idea and an amazing one at the same time. In order to keep our figures in check we’ve been sticking with frozen yogurt. It is apple season and we wanted to make some sort of apple treat. Here is what we came up with:

Apple Cinnamon Caramel Frozen Yogurt

3 Large Cortland Apples (peeled and sliced)

4 Tablespoons unsalted butter

1 Tablespoon Cinnamon

3/4 cup of granulated sugar

1 1/3 cups whole milk

2 1/2 cups plain yogurt

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1) Heat butter in a medium saucepan on medium heat. After butter has melted added sugar and allow to dissolve.

2) Next add in apples and cinnamon. Cook until the apples have begun to fall apart and taste uber delicous. Make sure they are super soft! Remove apple mixture from heat and mash the mixture until it is reminiscent of applesauce but with some chunks. Allow mixture to cool completely.

3) Whisk together milk and sugar in a large bowl. Add yogurt and vanilla and whisk until smooth. Then add the cooled apple mixture.

4) Next process the mixture in an ice cream machine according to the manufacturers instructions. It took this batch approximately 20 minutes to get to the right consistency.
